Oops! Looks Like We Just Can’t Keep a Secret

    I just want to make sure you didn’t miss this news story. The US once again outs another spy. They did it with Valerie Plame, and now they’ve done it with the guy who was responsible for last week’s three-year-old terror warning data. From ABC News:
[S]enior officials said Tuesday that some al-Qaida fugitives escaped after news reports revealed the arrest of a computer expert for Osama bin Laden’s network who was cooperating with investigators.
    […] Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, a 25-year-old Pakistani, was nabbed in a July 13 raid in the eastern city of Lahore. His capture was a signal victory for Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the war on terrorism. He led authorities to a key al-Qaida figure and sent e-mails to terrorists so investigators could trace their locations.
    […] The Pakistani officials said that after Khan’s arrest, other al-Qaida suspects abruptly changed their hide-outs and moved to unknown places.
    […T]wo senior officials expressed dismay that the arrest of Khan made it into the media too soon reported first in American newspapers on Aug. 2 after it was disclosed to journalists by U.S. officials in Washington.
I guess it’s simply more important to try and steal the thunder of the Democratic National Convention than it is to actually fight the war on terror. But, you know what they say: “Results matter!”
    On the lighter side, Frolixo has a new diet plan.
